Prevalence and predictors of co-occurring functional seizure in patients with epilepsy at a tertiary care center in Makkah.
Article in Annals of Saudi medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundA functional seizure (FS) is a paroxysmal event that resembles epileptic seizures (ES) but without associated changes in cortical activity.
objectiveTo assess the prevalence of FS among ES patients admitted to the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) in King Abdullah Medical City (KAMC).
designA retrospective cohort study.
settingEMU at KAMC. PATIENTS AND
methodsEMU database from 2015 to 2023 were reviewed. Patients were included in the study if they had a diagnosis of epilepsy and recorded seizure during admission.
main outcome measuresThe prevalence and the predictors of FS developments among patients with ES. SAMPLE SIZE: 198 patients.
resultsThe prevalence of FS was 10.6%. Significant risk factors associated with FS were income (18.6% vs 8.4%
conclusionPatients with combined disorders are more likely to be male, shorter epilepsy duration, had salary income, focal epilepsy, frontal localization, history of head trauma, intellectual disability and be on higher ASMs, phenytoin as ASMs, depression, anxiety and more likely to be on psychiatric treatment. LIMITATIONS: The study was a retrospective study.
